DarkHorse Golf Club

I have played here many times and this was the worst conditions I have seen. Fairways have many burned out spots and they have over compensated with watering trying to fix the situation.

On the plus side, the greens were in good shape and pace of play was great. I would wait several weeks before I would play again and give the course time to recover.

Course went downhill quick, made the drive up and quickly regretted it. Fairways are dirt , greens are beat to the bone and bunkers are thrashed. I understand it's been a brutal summer but at least keep the bunkers maintained. Just seems like the course is being neglected. Such a shame because it use to be one of the best courses in Nor Cal.

This course is in VERY rough shape right now. I remember a few years back, it was an absolute gem. New bunkers, lush fairways… it was spectacular.

It is NOT the same course today. Dirt in fairways, mushy and over watered greens, no clubhouse or amenities… It is ROUGH. If you’re not in the area, I wouldn’t make the trip to play this course. It is a complete waste of money, and there are many other courses that are better. The Ridge is very close to this course, and a MUCH nicer course with better amenities and pricing.

Skip this place, and play somewhere worthy of your time and money.

Course not in great condition. Fairways, tee boxes very patchy. No one fixes ball marks ok greens. Course used to be in fantastic shape. Don’t know what happed. Probably won’t return this year.

Love this course. Love the design. Love the value (free birthday round). However the course has been decimated by the heat this summer. Played here in may and it was in GREAT shape. This time, fairways were barren. Dirt, different types of grasses. On 3 holes on front was cart path only.

Still live the course. Hope they can recover it.

I was disappointed with the conditions at Dark Horse. This is normally one of my favorite courses, but the greens were beat up and slow and the fairways were burnt out. Also, they need to get water stations placed on the course.

I had a threesome booked. My 2 buddies couldn’t make it. I found out later they charged me for the whole threesome. I get that that’s technically allowable when you reserve with GolfNow, but no other course I’ve ever played in the Sacramento region in 10 years has ever enforced that for any reason, and they didn’t have the courtesy to tell me about it. On top of that, the course is trashed. Fairways are horrible and the greens are loaded with pockmarks. Looks like a ghetto muni course. I will never go back there and will steer every golfer I know away from it. It’s a shame, because it used to be a gem of a course that was very well run.

Course is well maintained and driving range facilities are great. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Nice course, fun to play. And the 2 for $99 makes it a good deal. BUT, there are no ball washers on the carts or tee boxes. And, on a very hot day, we could find no water there..Empty water dispensers.

Not good!!!

I had a good time, Travis is an excellent employee

Being in the middle of a heat wave I expected there to be some wet spots on the course. Not enough water & it’s burnt, too much & it’s wet. The greens ran true and weren’t as fast as usual.

Get to the course for a 6:10 tee time, end up playing for 5 hours. No marshall, no water, no staff besides the greenskeeper tamping ball marks on the greens every whole we’re playing on and he refuses to leave the green with verbal warnings/shots coming in. 2 for $99 is a joke where when I got to the course the person at the register “called it even” and used it for my round. On top of that, was charged $25 for a cart fee which somehow wasn’t included in the $99 I spent for the tee time. Greens are chewed up along with the tee boxes. Pretty course but now worth $125 + fee for range balls. Course is losing money and it shows

The course is in shockingly bad shape. Nothing like what it used to be. It looks like a neglected muni course.
